"the middle place is about calling home. instinctively. even when all the paperwork -- a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and seven years of tax returns -- clearly indicates you're an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking god that you're still somebody's daughter." for kelly corrigan, family is everything. at thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, a couple of funny, active kids, and a weekly newspaper column. but even as a thriving adult, kelly still saw herself as george corrigan's daughter. a garrulous irish-american charmer from baltimore, george was the center of the ebullient, raucous corrigan clan. he greeted every day by opening his bedroom window and shouting, "hello, world!" suffice it to say, kelly's was a colorful childhood, just the sort a girl could get attached to. kelly lives deep within what she calls the middle place -- "that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap" -- comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. but she's abruptly shoved into a coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast -- and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. and so kelly's journey to full-blown adulthood begins. when george, too, learns he has late-stage cancer, it is kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her -- and show us a woman as she finally takes the leap and grows up. kelly corrigan is a natural-born storyteller, a gift you quickly recognize as her father's legacy, and her stories are rich with everyday details. she captures the beat of an ordinary life and the tender, sometimes fractious moments that bind families together. rueful and honest, kelly is the prized friend who will tell you her darkest, lowest, screwiest thoughts, and then later, dance on the coffee table at your party. funny, yet heart-wrenching, the middle place is about being a parent and a child at the same time. it is about the special double-vision you get when you are standing with one foot in each place. it is about the family you make and the family you came from -- and locating, navigating, and finally celebrating the place where they meet. it is about reaching for life with both hands -- and finding it. show more (1)

how far would you go for someone you love? would you sacrifice your beliefs? would you commit a federal crime? would you risk everything you have? james siegel's electrifying thriller, derailed, captivated readers with its emotionally charged twists and turns, racing up national bestseller lists and landing a major motion picture deal. the washington post called it spectacularly inventive, and james patterson raved, james siegel has arrived in high style. now this acclaimed new master of suspense returns with the explosive story of a mother's love, a father's devotion-and an adopted daughter who turns their lives upside down. they want what every young couple wants: a child of their own. but paul and joanna breidbart have been trying to conceive for five long years-a torturous process of failed medical procedures that nearly tore their marriage apart. when they finally decide to adopt, american agencies tell them they will have to wait years for their dream to come true. the couple agrees to fly to war-torn colombia to adopt a baby girl. paul knows all about risks. as an insurance executive, he routinely calculates the odds of dying in a plane crash or being hit by a bus. yet all the accident statistics in the world can't prepare him for what is about to happen. paul and joanna receive the baby girl of their dreams and their world seems perfect. then one afternoon they briefly leave their baby daughter alone with their new nanny. when they return, something is disturbingly different about their child...and suddenly everything paul values is in jeopardy. again, james siegel gives us a tale of ordinary men and women thrust into extraordinary circumstances-and a novel that confirms him as one of today's most powerful writers of psychological suspense. show more (1)
